Stroke Risk and Mortality in Patients With Ventricular Assist Devices
Ventricular assist devices (VADs) play an important role in the management of advanced heart failure. VAD therapy is intended for patients with severe heart failure that causes disabling symptoms such as dyspnea at rest or with minimal activity or such heart failure that requires inotrope therapy. VADs provide mechanical circulatory support to patients primarily as a bridge to heart transplanta...
متن کاملComplications in patients with ventricular assist devices.
Heart failure affects more than 5 million people in the United States. The treatments of this disease include medical therapy, heart transplantation, and the implantation of ventricular assist devices. These devices are used in patients who are no longer responsive to conservative medical treatment, who are not candidates for a heart transplantation (destination therapy), who are awaiting a hea...
متن کاملCandidemia in patients with ventricular assist devices.
During the period 1998-2004, candidemia developed in 7 of 117 ventricular assist device recipients at our hospital, and the associated mortality rate was 71%. Five cases of candidemia were due to Candida parapsilosis, and 2 were due to Candida albicans. Three of the 7 patients with ventricular assist device-associated Candida bloodstream infections were cured, and the device was retained in 2 o...
متن کاملRight ventricular size assessed by cardiovascular MRI may predict mortality after left ventricular assist device placement
Methods Patients were referred for cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging prior to LVAD placement. We assessed the association of mortality to pre-LVAD right ventricular end systolic volume index (RVESVI), right ventricular end diastolic volume index (RVEDVI), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) by CMR. Right ventricular stroke work index (RVSWI) was determined by preLVAD right heart c...
متن کاملManagement of ventricular arrhythmias in patients with ventricular assist devices.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To summarize the available evidence concerning the occurrence and treatment of ventricular arrhythmias in patients supported with long-term ventricular assist devices (VADs). RECENT FINDINGS Approximately one-third of left ventricular assist device-supported patients experience significant ventricular arrhythmias, with higher rates in certain patient subsets. Ventricular arr...
